It's surprising to me that the orange uni is my least favorite. Love them all, but the white and blue unis look better to me. I love the orange blue orange combo.

Is the number on the white top now chrome like the I on the helmet? It didn't look like the original was. Or is it just the lighting?

I'm guessing it's just the lighting. The orange tops and pants look to be "reflecting" the light in the same manner as the numbers.

To make all those changes to the stadium and NOT change the midfield logo is just a shame. I'm sure there is a sound explanation for it, cost, safety, long term turf replacement plan, etc... but I still don't get it.

Maybe it is just the lighting, but the helmet orange doesn't seem to match the uni orange.

Is anyone else bothered by the sleeves on the blue jerseys? IMO it needs a white stripe between the orange stripes. The white and orange jerseys have "triple stripes" on the sleeves. The blue jersey only has a double stripe. I think the pants have the same problem. The stripes on the sleeves and the pants should match the stripes on the helmets. However, I am very happy that they changed the number trim to orange.

I think we will see the blue jerseys at some point this season.

The rumors are designed to highten the hype for when they are released imo.

I agree. I think they warm up one home game in orange, and then they come out for kickoff in Blue. not until the last home game before Sr day.

There are literally like 15 of us who know that we supposedly don't have the blue uniforms.

I'm bothered by it as well. The striping on the orange and navy pants don't have the white stripe either. They need to fix the jerseys and pants or remove the white stripe on the helmets.

I can't believe we won't have navy jerseys (which look great to me with the orange helmet and pants) this season unless it's because of a manufacturing issue on Nike's end. Don't tell me it's a cost issue because I just read about Boise State's new orange helmets costing Boise just over $20,000. Football jerseys should be about half that cost.

+1 The inconsistency of the orange colors and various coloring and mixing of strips/lines are holding back these uniforms in terms of consistency. Too many characteristics of the uniforms are competing with one another.

I'm guessing the only "rebranded" uniforms the women's soccer team got was the Orange ones?

(since I'm assuming we'd have seen a white or blue kit if they had it)

which is fine... they said it would be a couple years to completely roll out and Women's Soccer is hardly the #1 priority.

If I can recall, their white uni's will be in their 3rd year, the Blues their 2nd and they hadn't worn Orange for awhile. I believe they get a new uniform every three years, so they may be staggered . We'll find out soon.

They have multiple sets. Also I hope I'm wrong about football but remember it's not just jerseys, it's helmets and pants too. Helmets are expensive and pants aren't cheap. Cosign on the stripes but there's nothing they can do now.

They've already changed the number border to orange on the blue jersey between the initial reveal and now. If there aren't really any blue jerseys this year, why would they not be able to tweak the shoulder stripes to match the orange and white jerseys?
